Method and composition for the control of dust

摘要

An aqueous solution containing a cellulose ether in an amount of from about 0.25 to about 2.0% by weight and a wetting agent of from about 0.10 to about 0.5% by weight is described. The solution may be applied to stockpiles of aggregate materials at a rate of from about 0.05 to about 0.20 gallons per square foot of surface area to control the release of dust therefrom when subjected to high winds.
